Chipped board?

Hey, my board slipped while taking it off my board rack in the parking lot. I caught it most of the way, but the tail end dropped about 2 feet, and one corner is smashed a little bit. It is a little bulged out, so I squeezed it, and hit it with a file a little, but it is still kind of fat. Should I be worried about sealing it somehow? Maybe a little fiberglass resin or something?

OK, I repaired it last night. I squeezed it back together where it bubbled a bit on the end with pliers, then sanded it smooth. I sealed the end in with a little epoxy, and sanded smooth. I also sanded the aluminum fin that got scratched.
Good as new.
Thanks guys

nice work... how bad was it?

Not that bad, I guess I can take a pic.. on the trailing edge, it fell right on the edge of the board. Right at the molded in fin area, and it mushed the end, and such. Only about an inch long along the edge, and only about 1/4 " in from the edge.
NOthing major, it is the exact same countour now , with a little sanding.

shaggyboarder, gorilla glue are you crazy. i used that stuff on my delaming wakeskate and it foamed up while it cured and put a massive bubble on my board. then it took extra time to sand and cures to a yellow color.
